day can be described as quiet from washington to the middle east, where as two days for market selloffs brought i told you sos from some wall street gurus. today's triple digit rally in the dow was unobserved by those who lost the narrative. as surrogates and private campaign force, organizing for action, worked to upend the second amendment, the president, himself, seems most willing to put a electoral risk, and the democratic senators and they had the elections, and facing constituents on gun control, trying to explain the president's early enthusiasms and why he's silent about it now. the president privately meeting with white house reporters today who took with it, pins, cameras,

or anything with which to record the president. it appears ed henry, not only the talker at the white house, but the president of the white house association made an impact or perhaps he and want others are simply summits of the president's considerable charm and high success rate at co-oping nearest and occasional critics. to the business at hand, all of the outward silence in the nation's capitol suggesting the possibility of a lot of behind the scenes goings on on subjects like the avoid dance of the sequester or north korea's threats to launch an intermediate ballistic missile with discussions with iran adding to compound the complexity of resolving nuclear ambitions in the volatile middle east. danger abounds. the president, somehow, still optimistic a bigger budget deal

can be reached before the sequester goes into effect a week from today, not even with congress on recess, no face-to-face negotiations, fox news, chief white house correspondent ed henry, has the report. >> hope springs eternal. i will just keep on making my case not only to congress, but more importantly, the american people. >> after talks with jeep these prime minister, president obama took a rare question from the press in the oval office. it said he's still optimistic there's a bigger budget deal with spending cuts. >> i've been very clear that there's an alternative which is for us to state the balanced approach presented where we have more strategic cuts on programs we don't need, and we close some tax loopholes that are taking advantage of only by the well-connected and well-off. >> a far more pessimistic tone

from boehner's office charging the president has been awol. the spokesman declared sound bites and speeches don't yield results while the conservative group launched a new ad today mocking the apock lippic tone from the president. >> do you want to see a lot of first responders lose their job, teachers laid off, air traffic controllers, and airport security is a hardship on people, seniors, middle class families scramble to find child care if for the kids. >> he signed it into law. >> every three months around here, there's a crisis. >> they continue the drum beat of gloom and doom with the secretary warning air wait times will be more of a mess. >> flights to cities like new york, chicago, and san fransisco and others could experience delays of up to 90 minutes during peak hours because we

have fewer controllers on staff. >> republican rand paul today introduced his own alternative plan without layoffs charging the white house is exage rating the impact. >> i'd say balderdash, it's untrue, unfair, dishonest, disinjen ewe wise. the president makes stuff up. he puts law enforcement, firemen and policemen who 98% of them are being paid for with your local taxes and says you're going to lose your local policemen because of this? it's not true. >> meanwhile, republican duncan hunter is teeing off on delaying the deployment of the harry s. truman to the persian gulf charging it's about dramatizing potential budget cuts than making the proper military decision, though a pentagon spokesman told fox this was totally done by the book that this was about saving money and not about political drama. lou? >> thank you very much, ed

henry, chief white house fox news cor responsibility. the first guest attests firsthand to the lack of urgency and accountability in washington. concerning the sequester, former senator scott brown, a fox news cricketer, great to have you with us. >> great to be on, lou. lou: turn to the hoer row show the president is trodding out. seemingly every person in the administration given the opportunity to go out in front of cameras to scare the american people. what do you think of it? >> well, it's a broken record strategy. it's something i heard the last three years. they put something forth, give it a great title, but when you read the bill, it's not what it's moment to be. we saw sequestering if you remember because we tried to avoid default and make sure the credit rating agencies didn't lower the credit rating, came up with what they considered draconian cuts, harry reid and mitch mcconnell said there's a select committee that will spread the cuts all over, you

know, over evenly, and that didn't happen, bottom line is, listen, this has been up for a year, and i, and others said, let's get to it, get to it, and they did everything but this. they are on vacation now. they should have come back last week if it's that important. it doesn't get down. i hope i'm wrong, but people are depending on a type of certainty and stability. lou: interesting difference of view in the republican party. speaker boehner in his op-ed this week acknowledges that there would be significant disruptions as a result of sequester going into effect, yet, most of the republican parties say this is what we need, see spending cuts, need to take if on even if it's across the board and arbitrary. there is a real division right now working the republican party apparently; is that right? >> i have not heard so much let's just make the cuts and about it. i'm in the pentagon. i'll serve next week again, and

i'm working in the national guard bureau, and that's all they talk about. they are concerned, concerned about those laid off, but the men and women of the serving and the people in all up and down that supply chain having that level of regulatory in, and tax in payment security, bottom line, do we need the cuts? of course. the president's in charge and harry reid in charge of the senate. you'd thought we're in charge of everything, apparently. we're not. the president needs to show leadership. the house already sent forth proposals, sitting on harry reid's desk, he's done absolutely nothing to bring this to a head. he'll put a bill up with a great title, went be what we want and force you to do it, and, by the way, blame the republicans when it doesn't happen, and then they get to it after, obviously, the march 1 #st deadline. lou: military pay will not be affected by sequester. there's the prospect of possible

rolling furloughs, one day a week, several effects that civilian employees, a great number of them in the rolling fiduciary row situation, if it does, in fact, occur. the idea of a sequester turns out to have been -- it seems to me, a monumental misjudgment on the part of both parties and the president, and i can't believe we are sitting here march 1st, and neither the republican or the leadership says this is a stupid idea, and the only people with the power to correct a massively ignorant device we created, and the repugnant results are us, and we're going to take that opportunity and be leaders and responsible right now. why isn't such a thing occurring to the president of the united states who is, as you point out as you return to service for the country next week, he's the

commander in chief for crying out loud. >> he needs to show leadership, and you're right. bottom line is the people who were elected, there in washington, elected to take the tough decisions. they were elected to make sure that these types of things don't happen, and they put partisan politics and personal interest and the ability to finger point ahead of our country's interest. they are not agenting as americans first making sure we can step back from the issue because we already cut a half a trillion from the military budget, and we're not saying we can't cut more, just a question of let the military do it. give them the ability to have the authority to make cuts. tell the committee chairman and ranking members, harry reid, to do your jobs, do a top to bottom review of the committee responsibilities and find 1.2 trillion dollars worth of things to cut. lou: now that you're not aligned with the, if you will, the first, the -- >> well, i was 50/50.

i was 50/50. i could have gone either way. lou: don't have to worry about alignment. what is your view about continuing these discussions amongst elites, that is a super committee that creates the travesty called sequester, that supercommittee, the gang of 8 on immigration without public discussion in town halls. i want to credit senator john mccain, a veteran of the immigration wars on capitol hill. he's held meetings and is beginning to hear from his constituents. it's as if all of washington decided now that they are the french aristocrats of the 18th century. this is becoming unseemble, don't you think? >> well, i'm all for full disclosure and transparency in things we do, especially dealing with people's pocketbooks and wallets to ensure we are good stewards of the money. right now, people in washington, as you of all people know, they are not. they are just spending like

there's no tomorrow like pigs in a trough. i used that before, and we need to stop, and to make sure that -- listen, i love john mccain, a real mentor to me in washington and someone i consider a national hero, and the fact he's out there doing the town hall meetings, taking the lumps and praise to at least bringing the conversation to the people and letting them be part of the process, i think, can be comanted. we have to do that with everything. we were under the gun. i voted for it because we were told by leaders the committee does their jobs. when they put up the head of the democratic senate committee in there, she's not going to make the tough decisions so we can do better. they should be working out over the last year, and they are doing everything but the economic issues. lou: senator, great to have you here, delighted to welcome you, a fox news contributor, and delighted, also, well, that you're going to be with us for quite some time. you're not thinking about any political steps in the intrerm,

tenths or four tenths of 1%. it's not that big right now. lou: one of the thing, and i don't want to engage you on the conversation with the president's veer rasety, but the fact of the matter, as we noted on the broadcast, the president talking about first responders, policemen, firemen, emts losing their jobs because of sequester. we don't know what he was thinking when he said that, but i want to know what's going to happen with the economy, and i think everyone watching this wants to know where we are. in contraction in the fourth quarter with the gdp, and numbers suggest life and bigger to this economy, which is it? >> i think it's the latter. there is life and vigor in the economy, and, you know, there's focus now on this sequester business. like i said, the $85 billion they talk about, but give them

the 85 billion. let's say that happens. that's for a whole year. you have the fed pumping in $85 billion a month and money into the economy. that's a lot more important, banks lending, people borrowing, moving forward. lou: that's great. the president doesn't mention the 85 billion a year pumped into the economy by the fed. i don't know why he does that. it might relay the obvious anxiety. interesting to watch what's happening in the market place because when the fed minutes came out, everybody said, oh, my god, they're talking about tightening monetary policy, ending the bond buying program, none of which i could find in the minutes, by the way, couldn't even find a suggestion of it, yet, the market sold off for two days on that inferns from those minutes, and we -- finally, you know, one of the fed presidents coming out today to say, hey, wait a minutings we didn't, you know, that'ssnot

what we are talking about. it's going to stay lose, stay really easy money times. what's your reaction to what turned out to be a dramatic moment in the market that didn't last? >> well, you know, this shows you how nervous people are about monetary policy because so many investors believe it's been so important from the stock market, and just with the least hint they are even contemplating having this on the table again to cut it back is enough to make people nervous. now, the reality was there was this agreement at the last meeting, but a lot of the people who objected to what they do now do not vote this year. among the people who vote on monetary policy, most of them are doves. lou: doves, and it's still pretty -- well, it's pretty much a leader's quorum in the federal open market committee. give us your instinct on these

markets, how we've seen vulnerability here as you noted here over the last couple of days, resurgence today. what do you look for today and the months ahead of us? >> i think stocks out perform bonds, one of the most important lessons for investors. hard to see -- lou: listen to bill gross? >> charging how rates charge this low, it's only going to graduate pull out of the qe, but as the labor market improves this year, investors are going to start thinking, well, down the road, mr. ben bernanke is not pumping in $85 billion a month. that's a month, lou, and once they start thinking about that, these rates are going to go up. lou: there will be a levinning process as a result? >> i think the rates are not going to go up until there's more confidence in the economy

so the rates don't necessarily have to hurt the stock market at this point. lou: in fact, as you are suggesting, when that happens, that's a powerful signal how strong the economy is. great it have you with us. thanks. come back soon. time for tonight's question, will the president and congress reach a deal to avoid the nasty se -- sequestering are -- or are they intent ongoing forward with this? go to facebook.com/loudobbs adopt. cast your vote, sequestering, yes or no? a new report from the faa has the number of domestic drones now over the skies of america, expanding from now hundreds to thousands over the course of the next decade. a $200,000 taxpayer funded

it affects experience because sensitivity training is more than words. it is also experience. lou: experience and sensitivity training, by definition, is to open one's mind rather than close it. that is the stuff of indoctrination. i have never, and i have had some familiarity with sensitivity training for. i actually did sensitivity training early on as a man for the department of labor. i mean, this is extraordinary to witness. watch this, if you will. give us your reaction to this kind of training and try to tell us why in the world the department of agriculture would engage in something like this. >> i want you to see america responded by outsiders. said that. >> correct.@ it is insiders. they get very nervous about today's outsiders. i want you to say, the pilgrims

indoctrination. i was wondering why he did not just explain what the treaty of guadalupe, 1848 was all about. maybe that would have helped him and his sensitivity training. maybe you could have taken into account the fact that this is the only nation on the planet in which there was ever permitted consideration of making a 11 million people who entered illegally citizens of the united states. >> absolutely. listen. our country has been built on inclusion, not exclusion. lou: that is a great point. part of the sensitivity training, i think might be that we need to kind of lift up to conscious about our values. maybe point out that 300,000 americans died to free the slaves. no other country on earth has ever gone to war with itself to free slaves. it is an extraordinary and noble moment in history. that is not mentioned very often
